Whatever you need to do to justify it to yourself guess. Id say a delivery driver is more deserving of a tip then the other service based jobs listed in this thread. As already pointed out there are expenses that others don't have as well as inherent risks.

Sure, and if I was paying a "server charge" at a restaurant, I'd be less inclined to tip a server. And if all a server did was bring food out to me without any distinguishable level of service, I'd again be less inclined to tip. Hence why I don't understanding tipping on top of a service, like delivery, that I am directly paying for on my bill. It has since been pointed out to me that the driver gets none of this money, which would certainly make my stance on not-tipping a little lighter, but I'll probably just stop using delivery instead, since I now have no idea where that delivery charge is going.

And to clarify, I said I tip when there is no delivery charge. My problem isn't them not deserving it, it's that the delivery charge makes tipping feel redundant.

Either way, I don't see what my personal stance on who I tip has to do with it. People can tip or not tip all they want, but if you choose not to tip then don't leave a condescending note telling the person the things they did wrong. That's all I was saying. Seems fair to me.
